  • Apple's Cook receives first time-based stock grant since 2011, incentivizes tenure into 20...

    I don’t know, but if he needs incentive to stay, it’s time for him to go.

    “Unparalleled innovation” yeah like 800 dollar wheels with no brakes. Novel concept. Or a 1000 dollar bar of aluminium (also to be used as a monitor stand). Truly innovative.

    So now along with micro aggressions we have micro inventions.

  • Epic Games CEO criticizes Apple's App Store policies in interview

    Hypocrite. Meanwhile Borderlands 3 was available for 6 months exclusively on their own store, and now you can get the PC version on Steam. The Mac version is only available on their Epic store, nowhere else. Discounts are crap there. Well Epic, f*ck right off from your high horse talking about app stores.

  • How Adobe InDesign took over publishing with Steve Jobs' help

    Initially InDesign was lacking, but people were eager to get off QuarkXPress. Quark annoyed everybody with insane pricing, hardware dongles, stability problems, and the transition of QuarkXPress from 68k to PPC was a mess. People were really looking for any excuse to switch to a different offer as soon as it was viable. I was a typographer back then and was in the midst of it.

    Nowadays Adobe is showing the same arrogance and shitty support as Quark did back then. Quark is one strong contender again, but there’s also the new kid on the block, Affinity Publisher. I personally love Affinity, because they show a good understanding of the needs of designers, the developers are very responsive, a the software is really solid. Then again, I don’t do print stuff anymore, my love is mainly for Affinity Designer.

  • DuckDuckGo announces new Apple MapKit fueled search improvements

    I found DDG’s results to be very US focused and since I don’t live in the US a lot of the results weren’t relevant to me. 
    There’s a little flag icon with a toggle switch for the country your IP address originates from, switch it on and you’ll get results more relevant to your location.
